The moon was shining brightly on the velvet night sky.
Millions of little, sparkling stars were glaring down on the silent Earth, dressed in a huge piece of silk coloured with the finest, deepest shade of blue.
The park of the castle seemed to be the most silent place of the whole planet with no wind blowing across the emerald leaves of its ancient trees. Watching this scene made you feel as if the world was dreaming. Dreaming his own, peaceful dream of happy people, healty children, well-fed animals…
Only two being on the whole Earth were awake in this charming time of the early spring.
The prince and the princess were sitting in the silky grass next to a huge lake which was sparkling as if fairies blessed it with all the loveliness of the glittery diamonds. They were holding each others hand tightly, proudly.
- You’ll never let it go, will you? – asked mildly the princess, pointing at their interlocking hands.
- Neverever – answered the prince, smiling.
And there was silence. Both of them was staring at the huge, shiny fullmoon. Dozens of minutes slided by when finally the prince broke the silence with an anxious smile and a half sentence which changed everything for a lifetime.
- I think… one day I’ll wake up with the feeling of love towards you, princess…
- I think… – started the girl, blushing – one day I’ll wake up with the feeling of love towards you, prince…
There was nothing else to say or do. They climbed one step upwards again but the top of the stairs was still far away…
Fate was awaiting.
